Description
The Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary has been a crown jewel in Mass Audubon’s statewide conservation network for 74 years. The 1,982-acre sanctuary features diverse habitats ranging from forest, meadow, wetland, and esker; visitors of all ages delight in looking for beavers, turtles, hawks, bluebirds, & more. A farmhouse built in 1765 hosts a welcome center, and visitors delight in exploring the century-old rock grotto and stone bridge. Join us for a talk on the natural and cultural history of this unique and treasured icon of the North Shore.

The talk will take place in the Barn at the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary.
